> An atheist was walking through the woods.
>
> 'What majestic trees'!
>
> 'What powerful rivers'!
>
> 'What beautiful animals'!
>
> He said to himself.
> As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes
> behind him.
>
> He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him.
>
> He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder &
> saw that the bear was closing in on him.
>
> He looked over his shoulder again, & the bear was even closer. He
> tripped & fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw
> that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his left
> paw & raising his right paw to strike him.
>
> At that instant the Atheist cried out, 'Oh my God!'
>
> Time Stopped.
>
> The bear froze.
>
> The forest was silent.
>
> As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky. 'You
> deny my existence for all these years, teach others I don't exist and
> even credit creation to cosmic accident.' 'Do you expect me to help you
> out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer'?
>
> The atheist looked directly into the light, 'It would be hypocritical of
> me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps you
> could make the BEAR a Christian'?
>
> 'Very Well,' said the voice.
>
> The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. And the bear
> dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head &
> spoke:
>
> 'Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty
> through Christ our Lord, Amen.'
